Do I need to enter billing details for sandbox account to run test ads?

[Bryan]

I have a sandbox account and at the top of the management page I see "To activate your account and start running your ads, enter your billing information". Do I need to provide real billing details on my sandbox account to have the test ads run and if so, why? By "run", I just mean that I want the system to treat them as live ads and perform all the usual policy checks so I know they will serve correctly in production.

Thanks

Hi Bryan,

It seems your issue is in AdWords UI and is more on the product level of the AdWords. I would recommend to post your concern in the AdWords Community Forum as they are better equipped to assist you in this matter.

Thanks and regards,
